I did get few quotes that are in line with what is posted here and one dealer quoted way too high. I spoke to the nearest dealer and they said the actual cost of the product for 10year/100K miles is $3,282 and their best price would be (as offered at employee discount) $500 over this amount (i.e. $3,782). So 3K seems well worth it for this car.

 

Since my post a couple years back Already had the lowest priced dealers in the country, did you call either of them? (Even though you are only $600 or so highter than I paid for mine 3 years ago.)

Sounds about right when you account for the fact that everything costs more with time. When I bought my car I told the finance guy who was pushing warranties that if I wanted one I'd just buy it during year 3 of ownership if I felt I needed to at that point, and he told me "that's a totally viable strategy just know you'll likely pay more by then because they never will cost less in 3 years than they do today" (buying from an alternate seller notwithstanding).

 

Two dealers quoted the same price as what was posted here. So nothing has changed yet for the VSA coverage. I am yet to hear from Evan Aldrich. Will share in case he quotes lower than others.

 

I just tried calling Evan Aldrich and he no longer works at Earnhardt. Could you provide the name and phone numbers for the other "Two dealers quoted the same price" that you mentioned in your post? Thanks

Oh I thought "CaryCatch" was referring to two others dealers he/she had found because Enzo954 had said above that Jennifer's prices had gone up a lot, but CaryCatch indicated the two dealers he/she contacted "quoted the same price as what was posted here". I thought meaning your price, Bruce. Sorry, my bad.

 

Price indicated is for Lexus Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible for 10Year/100K, for Lexus LC500 (excludes hybrid) within 48 months / 50K miles.

1. Jennifer E Taylor - Germain Lexus of Ann Arbor -> $4,230 (surely the price is high compared to next two)
2. Jerry Johnson - Midwest Toyota -> $3,185 (indicated to be valid in California, Florida, all of USA and Canada)
3. Troy Dietrich - Toyota of Greenfield -> $3,185 (indicated to be valid outside California)
4. Dealer near to me quoted $3,782 and confirmed it is their final price.

Here are the contact details:

jerryj@midwestsuperstore.com / 800-530-5789 or cell 620-664-8844
tdietrich@toyotaofgreenfield.com / 413-775-6519

 

Thanks for clarifying and for sharing those new names.
It's extremely timesaving. This is a great group!

Lexus LC500/h Hybrid coverage and Convertible top mechanics included.

BullS.
I've never heard of any 3rd party so called Extended Warranty that's wasn't total BS.
You're comparable to Lexus? On what planet? You only score a 3.4 on BBB satisfaction on the planet the rest of us live on.
Any car person with 2 living brain cells know how y'all work. Or try to until like Carshield before they have to go out of business and change their name to Endurance.
But I'll say, you sure have a set coming to a knowledgeable car forum and trying to hawk your magic beanstalk seeds.

Fidelity's parent company, JM&A is the Southeast USA Distributorship for Toyota/Lexus.
Fidelity Platinum is only retailed by OEM dealerships such as Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi, (Highline Autos) is the only exception.
Fidelity Platinum is the Factory OEM offering for all Volvos, Lotus and KIA in the USA.

Endurance and CarShield are not comparable and have nothing to do with Fidelity Platinum coverage.

Aren't I better off sticking with and comparing prices only on a Lexus branded extended warranty? (even more so if prices are anywhere near comparable)? I know Bruce usually has great advice. Does anyone else have a knowledgeable opinion on this? (Trying to save time on unnecessary research by utilizing the breadth of knowledge this forum provides). Thanks

 

If you're eligible for the Lexus branded extended warranty coverage, like any OEM coverage, it is a place to start. It certainly never hurts to shop, Fidelity Platinum is kind of both OEM and 3rd Party coverage depending on the manufacture.
